The Fourthline Quarterly – Q3 brings 200% YoY growth, partnership updates and new trends

Dear team, clients, and friends of Fourthline,

We're pleased to share with you our highlights and learnings from a successful Q3.

Trends to watch

• Social engineering attempts are on the rise.

  47% of detected financial fraud attempts in Europe involved social engineering or manipulation. Fourthline found a 37% increase of these attempts between June 2020 and June 2021 after analyzing 1.5 million bank account openings. Ro Paddock, Head of Anti-Financial Crime at Fourthline

  explores why.

• Regulatory pressures are increasing for crypto exchanges

  . Once largely unregulated, the crypto landscape is changing and it's paving a path for crypto exchanges to

  turn compliance into their competitive advantage.

Exciting Client News

We are proud to announce a partnership with Wish. Wish combines technology and data science capabilities with an innovative shopping experience built around fun and entertainment. We're excited for the opportunity to bolster Wish’s identity verification processes in the EU.

Public Private Partnerships

Fourthline continues to collaborate with the French National Police and Europol working groups, putting forward ideas and best practices in order to help fight financial crime and support both operational and policy-related initiatives.

Product launches

• WebSDK

  makes onboarding easy: Last quarter we shared how we’ve been enhancing our Mobile and Web SDKs. Read about how Web SDK

  transforms the user experience.

• Stand-alone PEP & Sanctions / AML screening
